so theyre gonna have a GQ Style now??

 

[kasper!]

How about Vogue Hommes Internatioanl (French)? Will it be published in the future?

 

[mikel]

^ that's an entirely different publication, so I don't see any reason to assume that it will cease publication as well.

CHANGEOVER: Deborah Needleman’s first issue of T: The New York Times Style magazine won’t be out until February, but she’s slowly remaking the masthead so that come next year, it will be unrecognizable from Sally Singer’s.

Her first hires were all poached from her old stomping grounds at The Wall Street Journal — Whitney Vargas was installed as deputy editor, Patrick Li as creative director and Nadia Vellam as photo director.

But her newest hire is well-known stylist Joe McKenna, a veteran of W and Vogue, who’s well poised to give Needleman the credibility and access she lacks into the fashion world.

McKenna is T’s new fashion director at large, and will work on several spreads a year. Though he lives in London, Needleman said he’ll be heavily involved in shaping the magazine’s fashion stories. He’ll be especially helpful as Needleman prepares her inaugural issue, which will be dedicated to women’s fashion. The rest of Needleman’s team consists of features director Maura Egan, who is joining from W and worked at T under Stefano Tonchi, and entertainment director Lauren Tabach-Bank, who was at Interview.

With her new hires, the team that Singer had organized has mostly been displaced — entertainment director Jacob Brown and photo director Andrew Gold are both gone; David Sebbah, a longtime Times veteran, is also out, and Jeffries Blackerby, Singer’s deputy editor, is staying on although in a different role.

“I felt like I’m remaking this magazine and I needed my own team,” Needleman said.

^ This is great news. To be honest I never got T under Sally Singer, as much as I wanted to.

Not familiar with Needleman's work at all but very excited about JM's involvement. McKenna is the kind of stylist who really needed a stable position at a magazine (ideally bigger than T), especially given that a lot of stylists who are not even at his level have titles at major publications.

Update: A spokesperson for Elle confirmed to Fashionista that [Kate] Lanphear is leaving the mag, writing, "Kate is an extraordinary talent and we thank her for her many contributions during her six years at ELLE. We wish her the best of luck in her next chapter."

This is the third major walk-out in the last month or so - wonder what's happening at US ELLE??

 

[honeycombchild]

I always felt Kate was a little wasted at Elle US personally. She'd do well at somewhere like British Vogue or British Elle, helping them to gain a little more edge.

 

[ohmycolin]

^ Agreed. If she jumped ship to British Elle I'd be happy, it's been losing its edge lately. Though I think she'd be a bit out of place at British Vogue... But I could see her at somewhere like British Harper's Bazaar, especially now that Carmen Borgonovo is leaving.

And in saying that -

Documentary 'In Vogue: The Editor's Eye' Debuts Thursday, December 6 on HBO

In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye, coinciding with the 120th anniversary of Vogue, debuts THURSDAY, DEC. 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO. The documentary film takes a look at some of the world’s most influential fashion images as conceived by the magazine’s iconic fashion editors.

Other HBO playdates: Dec. 6 (5:00 a.m.), 8 (3:45 p.m.), 12 (4:30 p.m., 12:25 a.m.), 18 (12:15 p.m.), 21 (3:30 p.m.) and 24 (1:15 p.m.)

HBO2 playdates: Dec. 19 (8:00 p.m.) and 28 (3:30 p.m.)

“The people who are responsible for the fashion images are the fashion editors,” says Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue. “They have always been our secret weapon, so it seemed to me that we could celebrate Vogue, and also, at the same time, celebrate these great editors.”

“The exquisite and detailed inspiration that goes into a fashion editor’s staging of a photograph was a surprise to us,” comments Sheila Nevins, president, HBO Documentary Films. “The images found in the pages of Vogue exist as true works of art and the editors themselves are gifted, yet often unassuming, artists.”

Drawing on Vogue’s exceptional archives, the film features behind-the-scenes interviews with editors who have contributed to the magazine’s legacy, including current editor-in-chief Anna Wintour; fashion editors such as Grace Coddington, Tonne Goodman, Polly Allen Mellen, Camilla Nickerson, Phyllis Posnick and Babs Simpson; celebrated Vogue subjects Nicole Kidman and Sarah Jessica Parker; industry icons such as Hamish Bowles; and fashion designers Alber Elbaz, Nicolas Ghesquière, Marc Jacobs and Vera Wang (herself a former Voguefashion editor), all of whom share their experiences collaborating with topphotographers and image-makers of the day.

In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye is produced and directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (HBO’s “The Strange History of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the Emmy®-nominated “Wishful Drinking”).

“Vogue: The Editor’s Eye,” a book on the same subject, was published by Abrams in October.

HBO Documentary Films in association with Vogue presents a World of Wonder production; produced and directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato; edited by Langdon F. Page and Francisca Kachler; original music by David Benjamin Steinberg; director of photography, Thomas Curran; associate producer, JaneFitzgerald; producer, Mona Card. For HBO Documentary Films: supervising producer, Jacqueline Glover; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.
